Also it’s going to be more than one, so… “Your child has the ‘idiot gene’ responsible for possibly as much as 0.02% of the variance in intelligence! Er, but also the ‘Einstein1A gene’ responsible for another 0.02% of the variance in intelligence. Which I guess means they balance out, and who knows how smart this kid is going to be…”

This is the reason I don’t wake up every morning hoping that Trump died peacefully in his sleep last night the way I did in the first term. I certainly didn’t love Mike Pence. But he wasn’t a total psychopath.
But does he command the loyalty of the cult?

Besson makes good points about underfunded research in France in particular. I disagree with his notion that low salaries are a deal-breaker, however.
For decades, the salary / lifestyle tradeoff has been an issue for people who could choose whether to work in Europe or America. Europe isn’t a great place to try to have a huge salary, but the ease of living counterbalances that somewhat. Health insurance, never needing a live-shooter drill, etc. have always had appeal, and people have made the change from the US to France.
That “ease of living” side has just become a lot more attractive with US university clampdowns, people disappearing off the street, etc.
Add to that US academic jobs disappearing, or closing to any non-white cis-straight-male and the “salary” argument evaporates entirely for a lot of people.

I think even the most pessimistic forecasts about Mr. Trump’s term in office did not imagine things getting worse so quickly.

Good news for Canada and many other countries, but as @ObakeBakaNeko points out, we do not have anything like the funding to accommodate more than a small fraction of the number of US scientists who have lost their jobs. Happy to have them, though.
We’re chronically short of doctors and nurses. I’m cautiously optimistic about us picking up quite a few of them, whether new immigrants or those who left Canada for the US in the past because of better salaries and other attractions.
